"I take my role as my niece's aunt seriously especially after she disclosed feeling uncomfortable being a South Indian girl with deeper skin. So I thought this book would be a great way to show her that there are awesome Indian women that look like her that are doing incredible things to give her a boost in her confidence. I was so excited to hear from her mom that my niece couldn't put this book down! They'd read a few pages and then my niece would beg to keep reading! Thank you so much for this book, it really matters to see women that look like us represented especially for little girls who struggle feeling accepted when her nobody else in her classroom looks like her!" - Amazon Customer Reviews

Discover the inspirational lives of fifty women from across South Asia - the perfect present for all super-girls in the making

Through the fascinating, empowering life stories of 50 famous and under-celebrated women from Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, South Asian girls will have a chance to dream about lives for themselves that radically differ from the limited narratives and stereotypes written for them by their culture, wider society and the mainstream media.

Brigng together the stories of leading entertainers (Meera Syal, Jameela Jamil, Mindy Kaling), pioneering business leaders (indra Nooyi, Anjali Sud, Ruchi Sanghvi) and a whole host of other equally remarkable but less well known figurers - from British Muslim spy Noor Inayat Khan to fearless activist Jayaben Desai - this book seeks to redress the imbalance for young girls of color by empowering them to break new ground for themselves and inspire others along the way.

Beautifully illustrated with striking portraits by ten international South Asian female artists, this is truly a book for all ages - a gift to be treasured by parents and children alike.
